Rtic was supposed to ship my replacement cooler last wednesday and were going to send it via two day so i'd have it Friday. I reached out Wednesday and was told i'd get shipping info that day... Nothing. I reached out Thursday and nothing. Friday I left for RA. Monday still hadn't received tracking info. Tuesday I requested a refund and they responded and said it will take 5 days to post
. I've been very patient with FedEx and Rtic and they've both totally fucked me. It's not even that the cooler got lost that pisses me off it's now they handled the conflict that really pisses me off. I'd be happy as could be if they would have just reacted immediately. Time to start looking for another new cooler I guess. -
Well that's frustrating. Hope the replacement effort works out!

I’ve been pretty happy with my generic Walmart Lifetime cooler. Keeps a 20lb bag of ice solid for 3 days. These electric coolers are very well priced at Costco too. https://www.costco.com/massimo-cx50-12v-portable-e-kooler.product.100566509.html

Welp, I got shipping confirmation today. At this point if they send me a cooler and a refund I'd say they're just out of luck. A small part of me hopes FedEx fucks up again just for the sake of comedy at this point.

Very likely. Native photos app doesn't have very advanced editing software, but it does a good enough job for the time being just to get a better look out of the images. I edit all of these in like 2-3 minutes.
Well I found out my brother gets access to the full Adobe Creative Cloud through the University of Michigan(I don't know why, his doctorate has nothing to do with any kind of digital media), so I snagged his login info and download Lightroom and Photoshop on my Mac. Such a better program.

I also get it though the UW system for free. I just have to sign up for it every year. Pretty neat if you ask me.

Did I have access to this the whole time I was at Oshkosh...?

It was hard to find, My dad works for UW-Stout so he directed me to the right place. Its been going on for years. The whole UW system pays for licenses. You just gotta register for them or whatever.

My wife took a photography class when we got our camera 6 or 7 years ago strictly so we could get Photoshop and Lightroom for free from the class. I'm sure I use about 1% of it's power but I love it.

I had held onto CS6 as long as I could for the few times a year I needed Photoshop or Illustrator. I bought all 3 Affinity apps when they were on sale earlier this year for $25 each. I haven't really dived into them yet but I think even $50 is a great price. Windows/Mac/iOS versions too.

Sorry @B C but I thought of you immediately when I saw this
@KaiserRolls thread updates are proof that my helicoil hell was a success.
sucks when months later you read of a shop that recommends 9 ft-lb instead of 11 because they have seen the same issue repeatedly. Would have been nice to try that instead

Can confirm the success, however when I pulled into my driveway at 12:30AM it was spewing coolant. What the hell man??? I’m gonna lemon law your a$$

Just what I needed, another project. 1987 Cannondale RS500. Goal is turn this into a “gravel” bike with its primary use for getting around Road America. Can’t complain for $125.
My experience with gravel bikes so far is they're basically a road bike with bigger tires right? Can you get different gearsets easily for these? Any attempt to do disc brakes?

My understanding is it’s essentially the Baja craze of cars, just with bikes. Turn road cars into off-road cars. I just want to change the bars and pedals into something more “mountain bike” like and then do as wide and tall of a tire with a more knobby tread pattern.
I could probably convert to discs, but I don’t think I will need them for my application. And yes, you can change the gear sets for these, but the Shimano 105 should be good enough for my needs.

I've got a buddy with some very expensive gravel bikes that he raves about but when I've done rides on actual grave I just don't understand the allure. They're fucking stiff as hell with drop handlebars and it makes the whole experience really miserable. But the 1x gearsets he's got are wonderful. And they look cool so there's that lol.

The look is a big thing lol I’m definitely going to be changing to a standard handle bar as the drops will be difficult when just getting around the track. As well as the shifter/brake position. Tube shifter will be tough around RA.
